I just came across these guys.

Rawzor uses lossless image compression to compress camera raw images with zero loss in image quality or meta-information. Save up to 20% to 60% space, totally lossless. Get back the exact raw file, every byte of it. Compress your photos with absolutely no change in the original raw file.

Would it make any sense even thinking that the Camera's CPU would be fast enough to use this sort of compression and empty the buffer in time, so higher quality could be saved to SD cards? (As an alternative to the in camera 10 bit/12 bit conversion(is it a dead end?) or MJPEG conversion)?

I'm sorry no it is not possible. It's much faster than the previous version, but it still takes time. Tiff sequences starting from zero can be opened though.

EyeFrame Converter 1.7.9 is out!

Improvements:
- Stability issues
- Speed improvements
- Avoid pink color switch
- 16 bit

These are the dcraw settings which makes my 60D footage look okay(dunno how correct it is, but the settings can be changed manually):
-v -T -4 -b 3.9 -S 11597 -r 2.1426 1 1.5488 0
(daylight setting)

Change the dcraw settings in dcraw.ini file(C:\Users\Public\Documents\EyeFrame Data) which looks like this:
[commandline]
$rawset="-v -T -4 -b 3.9 -S 11597 -r 2.1426 1 1.5488 0"

More on the dcraw settings can be found here.

Thanks for your inputs. I've uploaded a new version with a dcraw.ini file(C:\Users\Public\Documents\EyeFrame Data) which looks like this(this is the default):

Code Select Expand

[commandline]
$rawset="-v -w -T -H 2" 
Here the dcraw command line can be changed manually.

This is as far as I got testing tonight:

Code Select Expand

[commandline]
$rawset="-v -4 -r 1.976563 1 1.6252 1 -H 2 -T -b 3.5 -s 2048"

The first one is not 16 bit, and the second is very dark.

What would you guys say should be the default one?

Not for Mac. It's just using a simple dcraw setting, so there is the Magenta feel to it. Let me know if someone has a suggestion how to solve this.

EyeFrame Converter 1.7.8 with Magic Lantern RAW import is up!

NEW: Convert Magic Lantern RAW files to dng, tiff and ex. Prores, DNxHD, MPEG2 I Frame HD and MJPEG.

- Add files/folders to the GUI or use the menus.
- Select the folder to add the pngs and tiff files in.
- Now the pngs and tiff files will be added to the folders.
- Then EFC opens the tiff image sequence.
- Select the frame rate(the first will be used for all following RAW imports)
- To preview the video double click on the thumbnail of the video.
- Right click on the colums to change values like T/C, R/N, Prefix and frame rate.
- Click 'Convert'.
- Select a Edit format(high quality) or a delivery format(mp4 for uploading).
- And let EFC batch convewrt all the files to the selected video formats.

Download it here!

I'm messing around with dcraw but only get dark and pink frames out.

Is it possible to somehow see and/or edit the dcraw settings you are you're using?

I will try to test without lv_af_raw, it enables edge detection, maybe it's to much for cpu.

Does the camera load the module without crashing for you?

I tried:

UPDATE # 6:
Compiled 31-05-2013
  with LV_AF_RAW (not recomended but removes dead / hot pixels)

But it crashed when loading the module.

The prog is on my ftp server. please feel free to try
ftp://a:[email protected]/Volume_2/raw2dngb.rar

I'm still getting a Comodo Malware alert. Would it be possible to add the destination switch code to the official raw2dng code? So the official raw2dng will be fully fledged? 

The latest build works fine here. 

I wonder why LV_AF_RAW isn't recommended?

Does the Hack setting have any effect?

Solved the boot issues, so you can now record raw with all other stuff enabled.

Also, here's a simulation that tells you how many frames you are going to get with certain settings. I've used the numbers from this thread to check it and seems quite accurate.

Wow, thank you, I can't wait to try it out when a new bin is up. 

[50D]

You should to remenber that:
- Max LiveView RAW in 60D is 1734x1156
- Camera can write max 20MB/s, full HD needs 90-100MB/s
- Max width of raw movie on Canon 50D is 1592
- There is no special RAW_REC module for 60D, it's the same file like for 5D, 550D, 6D etc.
... and how RAW_REC works

I would suggest that you added this valuable information to the first post of this thread. And thank you for spending your time on RAW for 60D. 

BTW! I have no chance to follow the technical discussion in this thread, but:
Q2: Do you at this point have any estimates of what the DNG file size could be eg. @1920x1080, should you succeed with 10bit RAW?

In theory, SD cards can give 22MB/s or 961194 bytes per frame. 1280x600 in 10 bits gives 960000 bytes.

I went out and tested it today. It seems rough, but I cant wait until more things get worked out. My videos were recorded at 1280x536 and I processed them in lightroom. My friend has a black magic and I would say that the files are better from out 60d! haha.

Looks like the frame rate is too fast?

Wow thank you. Thought it would never happen.

to tin2tin,

Yes, is the same link

Comodo throws a malware alert. This sometimes happens if ex. upx is used. Is it possible to pack it less compressed or something?

Updated, now it allows inputting destination path, and choosing to put separate folders or not.

Thank you.  Is it still the same link?

In theory, SD cards can give 22MB/s or 961194 bytes per frame. 1280x600 in 10 bits gives 960000 bytes.

In practice - we need a working build to test it (was the latest one 1% posted - the working one?)

Can't wait to hear if 1280x600 in 10 bits really is possible, so Cameras with SD cards only can benefit from the latest RAW magic.   

What is the 12/10 bit speed of 720p? Would this be usable for SD cards?

This is just... wow! The perspective of this is just incredible. Thank you for investing your time in this.

Would it be possible to add an option to add a destination folder? Like -o "c://my-path/"?

Would it be possible to add specification of the full path for the import file in "" and a full destination directory in "" to raw2dng?

I might add that if this was added then EyeFrame could be used as a Windows(& Linux under WINE) GUI for batch processing RAW files to dng by adding a two lines preset file.

BTW. ffmbc only appears to be able to open the first frame of a RAW video file. Hopefully this could be fixed at some point.
